r/akira

My grail item from 1984. Was available exclusively for in-store advert in Japanese bookstores ~ got it from a friend years back and had it custom framed. Def a conversation piece

Try to guess what this is...all made with recycled materials, paper dolls...all very rudimentary...NO AI obviously...

I recently acquired a small batch of DVDs, a VHS tape, and this cassette tape.

The quality caught my attention, and after researching, I discovered that some copies were made in 2021 by another fan.

I will keep it carefully in my collection because, even though it's not official, I really liked the quality!

Since only a few copies were made, I imagine this is the only one that reached South America and is in Brazil! Thank you! 💊

this took almost 4 hours to draw, no joke. this is my first time drawing any character from the Akira franchise. I’ve had fakemink, mf doom, & Travis Scott as the backdrop for music in order for me to focus on getting this finished, but I get distracted pretty easily.

fan drawing and coloring by me.

Akira is by Katsuhiro Otomo

drawn in pencil as individual sketches, scanned and digitally inked, then edited and compiled together and digitally colored.

I msde these in about less than an hour each, I havent drawn in a while so they may be shitty

Bought a 100x75 cm fabric flag for cheap on Vinted, never seen one like this before #happy. Does anyone here know more about it?

I just noticed this frame in Kiki's Delivery Service and am now totally convinced it's an homage, possibly unintentional but still!

Check out what I found in the long boxes!!! I have 2 and Im thinking of selling one. Figured it would be appreciated here though

I’ve seen a few online vary greatly in price. I’d appreciate some input, as I really have no idea what the original version looks like. I noticed it’s spelled “licence” here, but apparently these were only released in the EU and British English uses this spelling.
